The Eminence in Shadow Episode 5 Preview
The Eminence in Shadow Episode 5 Plot
In episode 5, we will witness the showdown between our protagonist Cid and Marquess Zenon. It was definitely a shocker that Zenon was not who we thought he was and that he deserved the rude behaviour of Alexia. Knowing both our protagonist and Zenon, a fight will ensue, and surely, our overpowered hero should win. We also saw a creature in the basement, along with Alexia, who saved her from her confinements, so hopefully, the anime will shed light on that as well.
The Eminence in Shadow Episode 5 Characters
There will be Cid and Marquess Zenon, as we witnessed Cid approaching him in the last episode. Alexia was also present in that spot, so we will see her. There should also be the members of Shadow Garden, and the monster we saw previously.
